Accompa allows you to assign 7 different types of relationships between requirements.
- Requires
- Is Needed By
- Supersedes
- Is Superseded By
- Is Child Of
- Is Parent Of
- Is Related To
These relationships are mutually exclusive -- i.e. two given requirements may have only one relationship between them.
#1 and #2 above are inverse of each other - and should be used when one requirement is dependent on another requirement.
Similarly, #3 and #4 are inverse of each other - these should be used when one requirement has superseded another, or when there are duplicate requirements.
Likewise, #5 and #6 above are inverse of each other - and should be used when one requirement is a child of another requirement. Child requirements can be displayed using an "interactive tree" in any SmartView.
Use #7 when two requirements are related, but the relationship does not fall under one of the other 6 types. |
